Description

Bug fixes
  • Fix pandas 0.20 incompatibilities in Location.get_clearsky, solarposition.ephemeris (:issue:325)
  • Fixes timezone issue in solarposition spa_c function (:issue:237)
  • Added NREL Bird clear sky model. (:issue:276)
  • Added lower accuracy formulas for equation of time, declination, hour angle and solar zenith.
  • Remove all instances of .ix (:issue:322)
  • Update docstring in pvlib.spa.solar_position - change units of pressure to millibars. NOTE: units of pressure in pvlib.solar_position.spa_python and pvlib.solar_position.spa_c are still Pascals. This update should have no effect on most users, since it only applies to the low-level spa.py module. (:issue:327)
Enhancements
  • Added irradiance.dni method that determines DNI from GHI and DHI and corrects unreasonable DNI values during sunrise/sunset transitions
  • ForecastModel will now only connect to the Unidata server when necessary, rather than when the object is created. This supports offline work and speeds up analysis of previously downloaded data.
